THE NEW ENGINE.
The Trial Yesterday Was Not
Very satisfactory.


Very satisfactory.
The trial Of the new 6re-engine, J.
Kuhrts, yesterday afternoon, was no,
very satisfactory. In the first place it
took over minutes to get up steam,
but il is claimed that it was not the
fault OF the engine but occurred through
the choking OF the fire by too much
coaloil. Tue trial occurred on the cor.
ner of Main and Requena streets, and
was watched with great interest by the
City Council, the Mayor, the Police
force and the Fire Department. Two
lines OF hose ere deposited on Requena
street, and ut the corner of Los
Angeles the nozzles were attached.
There was not enough water to
allow Of q good test with two streams
and while they played the force was not
very great, neither stream being sent
much over fifty feet. Frequently during
this trial the water in the mains gave
out and the engines pumping apparatus
whizzed at rapid rate. A short trial
with only one stream was given but the
water was not sent to much greater
distance and the hose was taken up.
This afternoon there will be an official
test of the new engine at the old Beau
dry water works, on Alameda street.
This will d eide whether the engine will
b accepted or not

A veteran of the civil war gives this ex-
perience of his first battle: The hours did
not crowd into minutes but the minutes al
most extended into hours. frequently found,
on consulting my watch, that occurrences ap-
parently of an hours duration, were really
less than half or a quarter of that time.
As the sun rose, it passed into cloud.
When it emerged, l fully expected it would
be some distance toward the zenith, and was
surprised to find it had advanced only few
degrees.
There was light shower that lasted less
than ten minutes; judged it had been twenty.
The evolutions of the troops on the field ap-
peared slow and awkward They were really
effected with great promptness
Gen. Lyon was killed before 8 o'clock, as
very well knew. 1t was some days before l
could rid myself of the impression that his
death occurred not far from noon.
The apparent extension of the hours was
the experience of several persons on that field.
l think it has been known by many, on the
occasion of their first battle. At Pea Ridge,
an officer told me there seemed to be about
thirty hours between sunrise and sunset
Another thought it was o'clock in the after
noon when the sun was at the meridian.
1t was only at Wilson Greek that l expert
enced this sensation. On subsequent battle
fields | had no reason to complain of my
estimate of time-Youthis CompaniOn.

The AntIers of the Deer.

Upon inquiring Of old hunters, who were
supposed to know all about the habits of deer
/ was informed that when a buck dropped a
horn he Immediately dug hole in the ground
and buried it out of sight. Upon further in
vestigation, however, was unable to find a
person who ever saw a deer performing the
operation, or one who ever found horn that
had been buried 10y its owner or any other
similar animal.
But in late years 1 have had several oppor-
tunities to learn where some of the naturally
shed deer horns go, if not all of them. The
deer shed their horns in spring, and they no
sooner fall to the ground than the wood p'Ae
attack them, and they disappear before the
teeth Of these little rodents so quickly that a
few weeks are sufficient to obliterate every
vestige of the noblest pair Of antlers. Even
the squirrels like to gnaw the deer horns and
fresh bones of various kinds, and it is this
natural or depTaved taste tEat makes our
common red squirrels rob birds nests when
the young are nearly full grown; for. as l
have observed, they devour the feet and legs
of the birds only. ! have frequently made
them drop the young birds they were slowly
tortlu'ing, and have always found that they
were eating the feet and legs, perhaps because
these parts had nutty favor.-American

FUN IN THE BACKWOODS.
Amateur Minstrel Shows Before the War
Scenery. Stage and Audience.

l-tCH 2oi~ SuuI
One trouble with amateur theatricals.
is that they do not run to burnt cork.
Nothing is likelier to make a hit than
minstrel show, even when the actors are
amateurs. When | was boy amateur
theatrical entertainments in my section
of the country always included the per-
formances of the negro minstrel, and
not unfrequently the entire entertain
ment was minstrel show. In the big
woods of northwestern Ohio and north
eastern Indiana entertainments by pro-
fessional troupes of any kind were as
rare as good crops of wheat, and to re-
iieve the tedium of the long winter even
ings the young men organized negro
minstrel troupes from the home talent.
Two good jig dancers, half dozen men
with good voices to sing and two rival
wits for end men completed the COM
pany.
No scenery was needed The theatre
was the old log school house, or if in
town the hall of Justice in the big frame
county court house. The stage was
made of big plank from the nearest
saw-mill laid on wooden horses bor-
rowed from village carpenters. And
ehO AOi oOo NOiO pldCGO very CiOSo To-
gether down by the footlights where
the Jig dancers of ponderous frame and
muscle were wont to show their skill
The footlights were candles, for that
was before the war and the days of ker-
osene, and the eyes of the audience
We're shielded from the footlight glare,
on one occasion that | remember, by
the old fashioned square tin oyster cans
that had been imported full of oysters
from Baltimore and emptied by hungry
villagers. The curtain was always
made of fancy calico and was looped
back by ''puckering string"
Admission was free. The actors
played for love of the fnn, and there
was no expense in presenting the play.
The owner Of the saw-mill loaned the
boards for the stage, boys borrowed
teams or took their own to transport
the lumber to the court house, grocers
contributed the candles, and other mer-
chants the calico The donors occupied
the only reserved seats. The house was
always crowded, and more enthusiastic
audiences never greeted a troupe of any
merit

A Hungarian Country House.


An English sportsman, having been
invited to Hungarian country house
for months shooting, gave this very
frank description of it to a London
newspaper: 1t is an enormous building
Of whitewashed brick, standing in a
moat, and strongly resembling an old
fashioned work-house or county Jail.
Occupying three sides of square, the
central court is of loose sandy shingle;
nor, for some acres round the house, is
tree higher than furze bush to be
seen. For protection against the fer
nature of of the counts vast hunting
grounds the environs of the houses are
cleared in style which an American
pioneer would have applauded. A
walled garden, with a single small and
ill-built forcing house, constitutes the
grounds. Beyond, all isplain and forest,
forest and plain, interspersed with ham
let's, inhabited principally by the keep
ers and trackers of the court
Within all is as barrick-like as with
out. Ill-painted wainscot and i'll
whitewashed walls, ornamented here
and there with -proportioned bas-
relief, whitewashed, or rather yellow
washed, like the rest, pervade the vast
mansion, with the exception of the
state rooms, which are hung with faded
damask and scantily filled with the
meager furniture of the last century,
An enormous hall, on whose walls
trophies of antlers and boars' heads are
divided by gun-racks and stacks of
arms, occupies the central ground floor,
and admits the winds of heaven to the
vast staircase and roomy corridors
above Except in the state apartments
and in the countess boudoir not a car
pet is to be seen, and of the forty bed
chambers there are only eight in which
freplaces are to be found
